The race for Kansas secretary of state generally is not a campaign that we get overly excited about. This year is different, however, because Chris Biggs is one of the candidates for this office.
Chris is our good friend. We have known him for over 30 years. We know him well. We know him to be a down-to-earth, smart, hard- working, guitar-picking, regular kind of guy. His campaign motto of “Common man, Common sense” could not better describe him.
We also know Chris as someone who has proven himself to be an exceptionally capable and dedicated public servant, having previously served as the Kansas securities commissioner and now as the current Kansas secretary of state. His public service has never been motivated by political agendas or to further any personal political aspirations. His goal has always and only been to effectively serve the citizens of Kansas.
This unpretentious, common sense approach to public service is both refreshing and commendable in today’s political climate, and this, together with his demonstrated abilities, makes him deserving of our support.
We encourage you to vote for Chris Biggs for Kansas secretary of state on Nov. 2.

Fred and Judy Works
Iola, Kan.
